Encrypted Portable SSD for Secure Data

The IronKey Vault Privacy 80 is a 1.92TB external SSD with FIPS 197 certified XTS-AES 256-bit encryption. It uses a touch-screen for PIN or passphrase entry and supports multi-password admin and user modes. Configurable password rules and dual read-only modes add further protection against malware. The drive connects via USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and includes C-to-C and C-to-A cables.

Check USB Port and Operating Temperature Range

Verify your system has a USB Type-C or Type-A port compatible with USB 3.2 Gen 1 for full performance. The drive operates between 0°C and 45°C and stores safely from -20°C to 60°C. No software installation is required because authentication happens on the device touch-screen. Ensure you can manage physical access for PIN entry before deployment.

Sustained Throughput at 250 MBps Under Load

Sequential read and write speeds reach up to 250 MBps during continuous transfers. The metal enclosure helps dissipate heat during prolonged workloads within the rated temperature window. Hardware encryption runs inline without throttling the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. Performance remains stable for large backups or archive moves.

Questions about this item

What accessories come in the box and do I need to buy any cables separately?

The drive ships with a neoprene travel case, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 C-to-C cable and a USB 3.2 Gen 1 C-to-A cable, so no extra cables are required.

Should I choose the 1.92TB model or a different capacity for FIPS 197 certified encryption?

This MPN is the 1.92TB version; other capacities exist in the IronKey Vault Privacy 80 range but each carries the same FIPS 197 certification and XTS-AES 256-bit encryption.

What does the 250 MBps sequential speed mean when I plug the drive into a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port?

The 250 MBps read and write ceiling is the maximum the controller can sustain over the USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface; real-world transfers will sit at or below that figure depending on file mix and host performance.
